The bakery is good. The coffee is good. I didn’t care for the eggs Benedict or the service. When I arrived at about 11:30 on a Sunday I needed to order at the counter but by the time I left there was table service so that was confusing. No one explained that. I was supposed to know. The food arrived before drinks. Never nice. I didn’t care for the spicy potatoes or the ham. Would go again for bakery and atmosphere on State street but not interested much in that breakfast menu. I didn’t care not order a gigantic mimosa but fine. I think my counter server could have explained more.

Nice place, very friendly staff and so far delicious food. I only had a sample of the cheese Danish (blood sugar is high) but it was absolutely delicious. Im going to bring my wife down for their high tea service.

Andersen’s is a charming, family-owned Danish-style bakery and restaurant that’s been passed down through generations. They specialize in authentic European and Scandinavian pastries, and also serve breakfast, brunch, and dinner. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and can easily accommodate parties of all sizes.
I ordered the crab cake Benedict, and my wife had the bratwurst sausage with eggs. The crab cake Benedict was perfectly cooked – rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The bratwurst was equally delicious, packed with savory spices and paired well with the eggs and potatoes. Both dishes are definitely worth trying.
The interior of Andersen’s makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a cozy café somewhere in Europe. The antique-style furniture adds to its old-world charm, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere.
Overall, Andersen’s is a delightful spot for a casual meal or a special treat. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She gave me a little bit of history of the business, and even gave me and my wife a complimentary slice of a delicious cinnamon dessert. It was comparable to Cinnabon, but way better! Definitely give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

We went there for breakfast and were delighted to finally find a decent coffee as good as any you would get in Australia. A lovely place to sit under the beautiful trees. The service was great as well.

One of the best bakeries in Santa Barbara. So cute and the food is amazing. Probably the best quiche I have ever had. And my dog absolutely loves charlottes dog treats! Definitely stop by and have all of the baked goods you can!

We recently tried this Danish spot in Santa Barbara, and while it wasn’t quite what we expected, the food definitely left an impression.
Let’s start with the duck. It was perfectly roasted, with crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. No complaints there—it was flavorful, rich, and cooked just right. The portion was big enough to satisfy, but not over the top. Solid dish.
Next up, the goulash. Not something you typically think of as Danish, but it worked. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce had that nice balance of savory and a slight kick from the paprika. Comfort food at its finest.
Between courses, we took a detour into the world of Danish pastries (Danishes?).
These were definitely the stars of the show. Flaky, buttery, and with just the right amount of sweetness.
Now, let’s talk about the service—or lack thereof. Don’t expect to sit down and have someone come take your order. You walk in, pay at the counter, and then a server brings the food to your table. It’s not a dealbreaker, but if you’re looking for a full-service experience, this isn’t it. Still, the staff was friendly enough.
All in all, it’s a cozy little spot with solid food. The duck and goulash are worth trying, but the pastries are what you’ll remember. If you’re in Santa Barbara and in the mood for something different, it’s worth a stop—just don’t expect table service or a super polished experience.

Beautiful venue – But sadly feels neglected. White linens were dirty with paper overlaid which was also dirty. We snuck a clean paper from another table. I ordered coffee- was good and strong. Came in a lovely pot & poured out by the server. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and unflavoured, potatoes seasoned enough for the eggs to taste nice. Sausage was good as was bacon. Show stopper was the small dish of apple w smoked ham. That was delicious. Sadly the bakery/restaurant was cold to sit and eat in. We kept our coats on. Would we return… no.
I really wanted to love this place & the experience but it missed the mark for me in too many areas. Dirty, cold, thin cutlery and pricey.
Quiche was creamy and tasty. Desserts were average. Food was average.
Cutlery was very thin – the cheapest I’ve seen in a sit down establishment = odd choice.
The servers did a decent job and seemed pleasant. It wouldn’t take much to make this an amazing little place…

We were a party of 7 and went for Sunday Brunch. We were seated outside since it was a nice day. The menu was good. The food was average. The baked goods on the display looks good. We were disappointed with the service. We had to order inside. The server did not ask if we needed cutlery and if we needed anything else.

Delicious breakfast… never had a Danish Benedict before coming here. Perfectly cooked poached eggs, delicious hollandaise and wonderful Danish puff pastry to replace traditional muffin. Great crab cakes on top. Fresh squeezed lemonade and very friendly service. Terrific location right on state very peaceful and near Saturday farmer market. Open for lunch and dinner also the menu was very diverse with lots of offerings for all tastes. Had a cinnamon palmier pastry it also was delicious.

Long time SB restaurant fortunately survived COVID. Great location to people watch and solid breakfast selections with a bit of a twist. Of course great coffee and pastries. Eggs Benedict pictured. Well behaved dogs allowed outside.
